    1. I have owned a few. Never had anything I was disappointed with. I had a Duster when I was in the Army as a second ride. That was a badazz ride. Bought it on the cheap from a guy who was PCS'ing to Korea and he couldn't afford to take it.

  2. I had a 1972 Satellite Sebring that I wanted to mimic a GTX as much as I could. I replaced the 318 with a 340 and I did have a 4 speed in it. I never finished it and later sold it, I wish I hadn't, I really liked and miss that car, it was cool even in a base style.

    1. (From above.) I had a Duster when I was in the Army as a second ride. That was a badazz ride. Bought it on the cheap from a guy who was PCS'ing to Korea and he couldn't afford to take it. Probably the fastest Dodge I've ever drove/ridden it. I regretted selling it but I was PCS'ing to Germany and I didn't have any way to get it to FL from KY.
